Earl Grey Tea
Tea may seem simple, but the steeping leaves in a bag of traditional earl grey tea are so much more than that. Every leaf holds memories, comfort and strength. From a great-grandmother’s stories of trial and triumph, to a warm hug from mom or a wise word from a best friend; there is no tea that compares to earl grey.
Earl grey is the perfect choice at any time of the day. With its light and almost-lemony taste, it is the perfect wake up call in the morning and has also inspired many cakes and desserts, making it suited for afternoon tea. Try pairing it with a citrus note to bring out the freshness in the tea. As all tea is low in caffeine, earl grey is also the perfect part of an after dinner ritual with family and friends.
Steeped in roots of history, earl grey is a traditional tea, however, it is also part of the specialty drink revolution at coffee houses all over North America. Any of your local coffee shops is sure to have a box of earl grey sitting behind the counter. Update your cup by trying an earl grey latte where the tea is blended with frothy milk. This variation breathes new life into the flavours, warming them up from start to finish.
While some tea purists insist the best cup is brewed with loose leaves and a tea ball, good earl grey is easier to find than this. Prism bag, loose leaves, organic muslin bags; nothing compares to the aroma of earl grey steeping on the counter. No matter if you are looking to soothe a broken heart, a sore throat or a wounded friendship, earl grey tea is the exact remedy you are looking for.
